Brought tears to my eyes at the end. A bunch of us guys run around with a man that will we 90 this Dec. Very good shape for his age. He was in the Army AirForce duing WWII. He was a tailgunner that did many missions over Germany.

Wow, that was amazing! Thanks for sharing that Pepi. When they showed him the footage and he talks about the C-47 then he realizes its cut to footage of his landing. Man, just seeing his face. That was really cool!

I will check that out, my uncle was in the RAF, and he died this year and he taught me a lot about planes.

Very cool. My Uncle and father flew many missions over Vietnam. Uncle died from complications of Agent Orange years ago. I was born on an Air Force Base and was an Air Force brat - moving every year until I was 16 (when I moved out). I feel a pretty big connection though I was never in the service. Thanks for posting.
